A Bit of History. The Rescue of the Slave, "Jim Gray," in 1859. James Stout*s Own Ac¬ count of it.
Stockton, Cal., Peb. 5, 1890. Editor Sentinel5- I had requested my friend, James Stout, to give me his version of the "Jim Gray" rescue which took place in Cttawa, 111., Dec, 1859, the main items of which have already appeared in the SENTINEL in my Anti-Slavery letters. The reader will recollect that %. Stout*s letter was principally taken up with the arrest of the Abolitionists and his trial, but in this he narrates events which took place in Ottawa prior to the trial in Chicago, many of which are new and have never before seen the light. His description of the "Tigers" is certainly very graphic.

January 25, 1890. Bro. Wm. B. Pyfe:- As much as ^ dislike to write, I here¬ with send you my version of the Negro "Jim" slave rescue, which took place in ^ttawa, Illinois, in 1859, as it appear¬ ed to me, and facts gathered from others. The affair was sudden, surprising, and the preparation to meet the event was spontaneous by all parties, so far as those who were in¬ terested in Negro "Jim s" escape from slavery.
